Mom and Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary Party

On June 11, 2010 my parent's celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. My brother's and I, along with our spouses and children, planned a party to recognize their special day. We invited about 120 friends and family and almost all of them were able to attend!

We decided to keep the decorations simple and elegant, so we used gold, silver and white for our color scheme. My girlfriends and I had so much fun making 50 of these tissue paper flowers to hang from the ceiling. Here is a close up of the flowers, I think they turned out really pretty. I found a great tutorial here.

This is the table we had set up at the entry way. My friend Karen spray painted branches from her yard with gold spray paint and then we hot-glued silver and white doves to the branches. We had guests sign this great Happy Anniversary plate I found one day at TJMaxx. By the end of the night it was full of signatures!
